CASE To RECOVER AMOUNT OF POLICY
IN FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF.

In the case of Michael Mcdonald
against the United Brethern mutual aid
society, the suit was upon a policy of
insurance issued on the life of Roger
McDeyitt, the step father of the plain
tiff, and on the trial of the case judg-
ment was rendered in favor of the step
500. In view of the speculative in
surauces that were so common in recent
years, this suit attracted a great deal of
attention, and during the trial it was
shown that the wife of the assured and
the mother of the insured stepson had
died before the insurance was effected,
and that therefore, there could not

The good people of New Jersey who
have any regard for the honor and fair
name of their state ought to unite in a
determined effort for the amendment
OF the statutes concerning marriage.
The recent Pennsylvania act, requiring
license and the consent of the parents
to the marriage of a minor, has un.
questionably done great deal 10 dis
courage hasty and ill-considered marri-
ages in this State, but its good effects
are in great degree nullifed here in
Philadelphia by the ease with which
foolish people can cross to New Jersey
and find some person with more cupid
ity than conscience to unite them in
marriage, asking no questions. The
enactment by the Legislature of New
York OF statute similar to that of
Pennsylvania will have the same de-
moralizing effect in Jersey City and
Hoboken that has been observed in
Camden. New Jersey is thus made,
through the laxity of its own laws, re-
sponsible for all manner of irregular
and improper marriages, not among her
own people, bat among the people of a
neighboring State 1t is a condition of
affairs most discreditable to 30 conser-
vative a Commonwealth and one which
honest Jerseymen ought not to tolerate
The Legislature, at its recent session,
was too much engrossed with peanut
politics to give attention TO a subject
so important, but the first opportunity
should be taken at the next session TO
secure an enactment that will put
New Jersey abreast of the great States
with which it is SO intimately connect
ed Times.

nation regarding the disasterous earth
quake on the Sd inst at the town of
Batrispe, in the district of Moctezuma

lives The earthquake occurred at $50

erupticns began in the neighboring
mountains, lighting up the SUBMITS for
lOng distance.
The same afternoon earthquake
shocks were felt throughout the state.
The prediction is made here by local
scientists that Mexico is about to under.
go a general seismic convulsion, and
recent records of earthquake shocks
show that there is widespread volcanic
activity from one end of Mexico to the
other. Volcanic earthquakes are oc
curing near the Gautemalan border az
well as in the state of Sonora.
Twenty seven persons were also kill.

Defective Indictments.

Vancouver, W. T., special: The timber
land fraud cases were dismissed by United
States District Judge Allyn, and witnesses
discharged. Six months ago a number of
persons had indictments brought against
them on complaint made by Commissioner
Sparks agent for converting and appro-
priating timber lands in Washington ter
rltory to their use fraudulently. The
United States grand jury that indicted
them was partially composed of women.
Recently the supreme court Of Washington
territory decided that women were not Ie-
gal voters. Attorneys for the timber-1and
men contended that if woman were not le-
gal voters they were not legal grand jurors.
Judge Allyn decided the point well taken,
and SO the indictments were quashed.

An Idaho Rat Story.

1t is well known that colonies of rats
finds homes in the underground workings
of the mines, where they enjoy good liv-
ing from the scraps the miners leave from
their dinner buckets. The late shut down
of our quartz mines, which lasted three
and a half weeks, put the rats on short ra-
tons, and in the Idaho mines they were
reduced to such straits that they resorted
to the oil cans which were used to oil the
machine drills. The tops of these cans
We're screwed on, but the rats were ingen1-
Gus enough to enscrew them and insert
their tails through the mouth of the cans
and into the oil, and then satisfy their APP
petites by licking the oil from their tails

The Manitoba's Preparations.

a gentleman, recently from St. Paul,
says that in the Manitoba yards at that
city are strung for a mile in length great
piles of steel rails, destined for laying the
track of the Manitoba extension to Great
Falls. They are being moved at the rate
Of 200 carloads per dav, stock cars as we'll
as fat being pressed into the service. At
Minot, Dakota, where the principal ma
terial yards are established, there are said
to be ten miles of side tracks, alongside Of
which the material is piled or upon which
it stands in carloads ready to be moved.
The immensely of the energies being en-
ployed to push the work Of construction
to the utmost limit may thus be appreci-
ated.-Helena Independent.

TWO FOX.
One OF the Murders of Caldwell Run
Down by Sheriff Black.

Sheriff w. III. Black has just returned
from trading the murderers of Caldwell,
which he succeeded in doing, as far as cir
cumstantial evidence goes. The sam
night March 2Sth) that Caldwell stopped
ut Bevtns' place a Piegan Indian ma Led
Two Fox, belonging to the Black1oot
agency, also stopped there. The Indian
left before Caldwell. His pony
tracks were easily followed and led to the
very spot where Caldwell was murdered.
-Four or Ave other pony tracks with one
shod horse track were found to have join
ed Two FoS's trail, also leading to the
scene of the murder. Caldwell was found
to have been shot through the back, the
ball passing through the heart. From the
scene of the murder the tracks of the
murderers again diverged, Two Fox's go
ing towards TIE Teton, to a place where
he had formerly lived, and the trail of the
others, with a second slod horse, taken
from Caldwell, made directly for the Brit
ish line. The first shod horse IS supposed
to have been tile one stolen from Dare 81
Kennedy on the night previous to the
murder. Sheriff Black trailed Two Fox
to the Blackfoot agency, which he reached
on the 9th inst. Major Baldwin, the agent,
was Informed of the circumstances and
Immediately sent for Two Fox to come to
his office. Instead of doing so the Indian
mounted his horse and left. Major Bald
win sent his Indian police to apprehend
him, and catching up to him Two Fox said
he would not be taken alive, and placing
his gun to his breast shot and mortally
wounded himself, falling from his horse
and dying in a short time, making no con-
fessien or statement about the matter.
The other Indians were without doubt
Bloods from across the line.-Rfee,' Press.

Life in Washington.

Washington is one of the most cos1no-
politan cities in the world; every class of
the genus homo is represented here-from
the highest to the lowest type. The dead
beats" or the "jedgesn or the "%colonels,"
as they are indiscriminately called, are a
large element. These characters live by
their wits. Just how they manage it is
not generally known, for they are gener-
ally fairly we'll dressed and never appear
to have anything to do; but they are al
ways hungry and very thirsty; not one of
the guild was ever known to refuse any
thing in the way of eatables or drinkables.
1t is to illustrate a part of tie career Of
one of the coterie that this is written; and
tits absolutely true in all essential partieu-
lars. He is from Virginia, of course;
stranded or strapped by the war, Of course,
again. All his life has been passed prac-
tically doing nothing; attending to any
legitimate work would be considered de-
grading. This particular 'jedge'' halls
''from Acconlac county, begad, sir; where
the people don't dare go in bathing, sir,
because they are so full Of lead, sir, be-
CAD, sir; they would sink. / myself, sir,
have been principal in twenty-five dueIs,
sir; and assisted at many more than that,
begad, sir; | am full of lead, sir"
One day when flat broke this genius
met an acquaintance who had been fortu-
nate in obtaining quarter Of all doar, and
volunteered the opinion that he cou Id it'll
ize it. So they strolled inso a gambling
saloon, called for cards and commenced
playing for the lone quarter. Seven times
the same quarter was placed ia jeopardy,
and at the conclusion of each game the
African in attendance at the sideboard was
ordered to bring drinks. By the time the
lunch table was spread they We're ready to
close the game and prepared to accept the
Inequalities of the house, after which they
walked out, carrying the lone quarter with
them. 1t had been .utilized.''
This genius got al appointment to a
$500 consulship somewhere on the east
ern coast of Africa. While ostensibly wait
ing for instructions" he was really look
ing about for a victim to furnish him an
outfit. One was at last found in the person
of a Baltimorean who had just been left
$1,000 and did not exactly know how to
dispose of it. He got control Of this by
appointing his newly-found friend as vice
consul. Together, after securing passage
and outfit, they expended in having good
time' what remained of the $4,000, and
then sailed for their destination. Reach
ing there, the fact was made known that
the place was not entitled to a yice-consul.
The victim, now without money, was com
PEELED to ship before the mast on a vessel
bound for Boston, and on the voyage had
a leg broken and is to-day in Chelsea hos
pital. The consul has also been called
home, and can be seen in his old haunts
any day pursuing his former course Of life.
He says, "Be CAD, sir, the confinement of a
consulship was too irksome for him.
